Cringe Moments (Brad calls ‘Turnovers’)

Brad went into his early coaching experiences without understanding how he needs to sell his program to the players and parents and community. Selling their vision.

Communication

Always taken place, whether you say it or not

Find shared values with parents

Four Keys

1 – Spacing

2 – Timing

3 – Communication

4 – Dramatics (or engagement) – Am I sold out to this?

Mastery

4 stages:

1 – Don’t know what they don’t know

2 – Know what they don’t know

3 – Know what they know

4 – Doesn’t even know that he knows (unconsciously competent.) Only way to get here is practice.
